Finding solace in music and its soothing effects is a panacea of the bleeding hearts. Anguish, repulsion, revulsion against establishment and power, frustration, dismay and depression all finds solution there. The emphasis is more to the lyric and its ethos rather than the music embedded there.

LA ROUX : GROWING PAINS AND 5 MORE

La Roux (pronounced /lɑːˈruː/ in English, French: [laˈʁu]) are an English electropop and synthpop duo made up of singer, keyboardist, co-writer and co-producer Eleanor Jackson (born 12 March 1988),[1] and keyboardist, co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Jackson describes their respective roles as "very much a half and half sharing situation... not like a singer producer outfit", but also recognizing that it often can "look like a solo act".

Their music is influenced by 1980s British synthpop including Yazoo, Erasure, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17 and Blancmange. The band's name originates from Jackson's red hair and tomboyish appearance, mingling the masculine (le roux) and feminine (la rousse) French terms; she has said:

To me, it means "red-haired one" – and it does, vaguely. It's just a male version of "red-haired one", which I think is even cooler, because I'm, well, androgynous anyway. So it kind of makes sense.

You seem to believe youBelong to somebody elseWhen you leave me alone in this worldYou know that I'm in hellWhen you know what it's likeTo be lonely and by yourself

Slipping through my fingersAnd into another'sTell me why you won't turn back

You seem to believe youBelong to somebody else(You know what it's likeyou shouldn't have to be told)When you leave me alone in this worldYou know that I'm in hell(It's hard enough when you'realone in the world)When you know what it's likeTo be lonely and by yourself

You seem to believe youBelong to somebody else(You know what it's likeyou shouldn't have to be told)When you leave me alone in this worldYou know that I'm in hell(It's hard enough when you'realone in the world)When you know what it's likeTo be lonely and by yourself

No wonder I'm scaredTo look in your eyesYou've turned me awaySo many timesYou can take it awayAt any given momentIt's hard to believeWhile you're in this disguise

So would you hold me pleaseI'm trying hard to breatheI'm just survivingSo would you hold me pleaseI'm trying hard to breatheStop me from crying

When I see you walking with herI have to cover my eyes(I have to cover my eyes)Every time you leave with herSomething inside me dies(Something inside of me dies)

No wonder it hurtsTo sit by your side(TurnED me away so many times)There's a different songI can play you tonight(We don't have to sit here in silence)We can break the patternWe can change the colour(It's just a little sacrifice)You don't need to worry about the others(It's all in your mind)

So would you hold me pleaseI'm trying hard to breatheI'm just survivingSo would you hold me pleaseI'm trying hard to breatheStop me from crying

When I see you walking with herI have to cover my eyes(I have to cover my eyes)Every time you leave with herSomething inside me dies(Something inside of me dies) x3

I'm the obsessorHolding your handIt seems you have forgottenAbout your manAlone in the darknessMy bed's a different landYour touch intensifiesAnd I'm in the QuicksandI'm in the QuicksandI'm in the Quicksand

You're the upsetterStroking my handWhat's my position?I don't understandAm I your possession?Am I in demand?Oh when you turn to meI'm in the QuicksandI'm in the QuicksandI'm in the Quicksand

You, you moved into my mind again OoohYou, you're walking around rent free OoohOh, I could let you stayBut I'm walking on broken ground againOh, oh, when will I learn?All you do is push me back in the dirt

In my ear, finally my saviour is hereIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereI hear you call me from the other roomYou say my name as if you know what you’re about to doYou say you’re tired and you must be leaving soonWhen will we ever see this through?And I continue to drown my sorrows after you are goneAnd look around for somebody else to hang my hopes onIn fact it’s easier now that you’re not hereI’m no longer missing you muttering those words in my earIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereI can’t explain the dark expression on my face to the people that I’msurrounded byYou, but you understand me more than most and you let me tryIn fact it’s easy nowIn fact it’s easy nowIn fact it’s easy nowIn fact it’s easy nowI’m no longer dreading you muttering those words in my earIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereIn my ear, finally my saviour is hereIn my ear, finally my saviour is here
